IMPROVEMENT IN LASTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,556, dated October 29, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ANZER, of Ashtabula, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Last-Lock, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a last provided with my improved lock; Fig. 2 is a top View thereof; and Fig.3, a detail perspective view of the lock.

' Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention consists in providing means for locking the two parts of a last against lateral as well as vertical displacement, as hereinafter fully described.

A and B in the drawing are the two pieces of wood which constitute a last. To the uppermost part of the foot-piece A is secured a metal cap, 0, under which a sliding slotted bolt, a, is held by a pin, 1). This bolt can, when the piece B is in position on A, be drawn forward into a notch formed in the upper part of B, and will then hold the two parts of the last together so that they cannot be taken apart by motion in a vertical direction. There is a downwardly-projecting lip, (1, formed on the bolt to, said lip entering crevices of both parts A and B and thereby serving as a lock against all lateral displacement. An upward ly-projecting knob or lip, e, on the bolt 00 serves as a handle for moving the same in or out.-
